1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,279 Speaker 1: Kind of can you say about Tommy and that situation 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: right there to lead you down to the. 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 2: Field, that's his job. 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: Third game of over one hundred quarterback rating, made good decisions, 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: took care of the ball, use him in a run game, 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: just keep developing him. He's he's improving, still got stuff 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: to work on. But you know, like I said two 8 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: three times last week, I think he's a young player 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: that's you know, doing the right things, making the most 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: of his opportunity. Earned the right to play today, and 11 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: he earned the right to play the next week. You know, 12 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: he's kid has done a good job. 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 3: Dave, Dave, that's that's a little bit adjustment to times. 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: It seems like he came out with the quarterback stuff. 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: Yea, yeah, that's something that give Kafka and Bobby Johnson 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: a lot of credit of you know, the discussion kind 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: of right even before half leading into it. You know, 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: we hit that one big one where he kind of 19 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: ran into Wan Dell uh. But there was a lot 20 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: of good discussion on the sideline in the headset at halftime, 21 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: spearheaded by Kafka and Bobby. 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: I mean, you have the game possibly sealed, and Saquon 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: on the long run. I mean, it's just a it's 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: right on your sideline. It's just such a crazy. 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: Football's pro football. Things happen, So we had to go 26 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: make it tough on ourselves. But drive down in two 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: minute with a rookie quarterback, make good decisions and nell 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: a field goal with a new kicker. 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 2: Probably like to do it the other way. 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: What was the conversation like with Tommy, you know in 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: the pastrive trying to keep his composure and stuff. Yeah, 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that. He keeps his composure. 33 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: There's really nothing. Here's a couple of players you like, 34 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: go out there and rip that. 35 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: Pretty simple, Brian. 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: The team looks as the not Tommy going down the field, 37 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 3: but his teammates look like they have a lot of 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: confident in him. 39 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: They seem composed. Yeah they do. 40 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: I'd say really all three phases the defensive guys do. 41 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 1: But again, he's earned that and he knows he's got 42 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: we got plenty to work on. He's only started at 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: four games or but they do. They see him at practice. 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: He has good practices. He's not afraid to turn it loose. 45 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: I mean that flea flicker. We ran what to play 46 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: by Wandell, who I know is getting asked by Wandell 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: last week. I think he played pretty good too. You know, 48 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: had a lot of confidence in him. 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 3: You know. 50 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: I was one of those where he came off to 51 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: me after we scored a touch. He was, I know, 52 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: I short armed it a little bit. I saw him 53 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: wide open. He goes, I'll make I'll make good decis. 54 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: I said, I know you will, man. But he does 55 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: a good job of seeing it. Give him tough game 56 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: against a good team. They don't you know, you don't 57 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: give up a lot of points. 58 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: Usually. 59 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: We did enough. There's still a lot of things we 60 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: could do better. You know, we had some short fields 61 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 1: that we could have capitalized on. You know, as Paul 62 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: alluded to, we obviously you know, turn it over there 63 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: at the end, which you know, say Quond feels terrible about, 64 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, and I feel for him. It was a 65 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, it just kind of a fluke deal where 66 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: we let it go. But sixty minute game we knew 67 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: it would be. You know, they've been a successful team 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: in December, so proud of our guys. 69 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: What do you make of being one game out of 70 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: the final playoffs? 71 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: Stot Yeah, Oh, I just we're gonna focus on New Orleans. 72 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: We got a short week, so the guys are gonna 73 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: get in early. We're gonna we're gonna just focus on 74 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: this week, you know, like we always do. 75 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: Be a tough environment down there. You know, they just 76 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: played a good game. 77 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: So enjoy this one here for a couple hours and 78 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: get to work here early, short, short, a day on preparation. 79 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: Oh with the facts, and how much was an emphasis 80 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: can use his legs if you tell pressure or how 81 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: do you avoid the sacks better tonight? 82 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: Uh? 83 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: Well, that's always an emphasis. That's just feel in the pocket. 84 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: So something we evaluated and looked at. And again all 85 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: those you know, the sacks are I think I've been 86 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: asked this last week too. 87 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: Secks are a result of a lot of things. 88 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: Could be better upfront, could be better at quarterback, could 89 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: be better getting separation, could be better at blocking protection. 90 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: But I think he's worked really hard and trusting his 91 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: feet and taking off when he needs to take off, 92 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: or trying to find an outlet if he can find outlet. 93 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: I thought our scramble rules helped us. You know, we 94 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: worked hard on those this week. I know you asked 95 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: a question about doing things a little bit differently. Scramble 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: drill was one of them. We hit Isaiah in the back. 97 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: You know, Wandell makes a great catch on the sideline. 98 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: So some of the stuff that you work on, it's 99 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: good to see come to fruition in a game. It 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: does a fourth quarter comeback, you know. 101 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 3: I mean that's like like a notch that a quarterback 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: gets on his belt. 103 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: I mean it's you know that that's not easy to do. 104 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: No, I just say, it's a team. It's a team game, 105 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: so everybody's responsible. Again, it was a tough a tough opponent. 106 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: We knew they were going to be a good football team, 107 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: a tough out, sixty minute game. 108 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: That's where most of their games have been. 109 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: And then you know, to have that swing of events 110 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: and to be able to you know, stay focused, locked in. 111 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: Uh Kafa called a great game. I did a great 112 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: job in two minutes. It was very similar to a 113 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: two minute situation we had in practice. He was he 114 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: was really focused, dialed in, gave him good plays. Tommy 115 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 1: executed the plays he knew him one Dell and the 116 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: biggest play made a great route, created great separation. 117 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: On a boat route there. 118 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: And then Randy you know, made the kick field goal protection. 119 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: So but again it was a good win. But you know, 120 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: short week, got a lot of work to do leaning 121 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: up to New Orleans. 122 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: Is obviously on a pitch. 123 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: Count YEP on that wild cat run to Wadale, is 124 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 3: that part of the play call for him to fake 125 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 3: the like fake that he had fumbled the handle. 126 00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: Did you see him do no, no, no, it's just 127 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: uh the ball handling could have probably been a little 128 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: bit better. 129 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, the ball handling that was like. 130 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Crap, uh when I saw it, but then he held 131 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: onto it and then he skirt it out there and. 132 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: Then we ran it again later in the game. They 133 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: did a good job of playing it. 134 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: They kind of squeezed and moved around and Saquon just 135 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: try to save the play. 136 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: But that was a big play and it was a 137 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: good called by Mike. 138 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: Like Isaiah Loltu was right with Tommy. Yeah. 139 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, scramble yeah, scrambled Yeah. And then look, we did 140 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 2: a two periods. 141 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: Against our defense this week where it was two five 142 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: play periods. Three of them were just drop back call 143 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: the play. But I told the Vito, under no circumstances, 144 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: throw it on time. Make sure you scramble and we 145 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: got to do a good job of it. Our defense 146 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: has to do a good job against Love when he 147 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: does it. So it's something we practiced, i'd say, put 148 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: a high emphasis on this week and it was two 149 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: good plays that we made out of it. You know, 150 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: So guys did a good job of taking things to 151 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: practice to taking it to the to the field. 152 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: What does it say about your team? 153 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: You were two and eight one three in a row 154 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: with your back of court that you're eating the playoff on, 155 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, despite. 156 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Starting that later year. 157 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: Well, all we try to do is do our best 158 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: each week, prepare as high as we can to go 159 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: out there and play as good as we can on 160 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: game day. Our coaches do it, our players do. It's 161 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: close knit group, i'd say, both coaches and players. Tough 162 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: league again, talked about it, I don't know how many 163 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: times last year. 164 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: This year. It's a it's a league of adversity. 165 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: So you've got to be able to weather storms with 166 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: a positive mindset, with good solutions, with great focus, intensity, passion, competitiveness, 167 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: all the things that you need to try to be 168 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: a competitive team. 169 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: That's all we focus on. 170 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: Certainly, results are not always what you want, but you 171 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: believe in your process and you go out there and 172 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: try to keep improvings up. 173 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: Or one more, you brought the playoffs up this week 174 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: to your players that you're bringing up. 175 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: To them in there. 176 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, what I say to the players will stay in 177 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: the house. We'll get ready to play New Orleans. 178 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: You appreciate, though, the uniqueness of what Tommy's doing, because, 179 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 3: I mean, we see the first round pick, second round 180 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: picks who can't do this. We see big free agent 181 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: signs who can't do this. 182 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't really worry about free agents where 183 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: they're picked, when they're picked that that doesn't matter to me. 184 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: We have a philosophy and how we teach our quarterbacks. 185 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: He's bought in, He's worked really hard. Look, he's four 186 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: games in two so you know, I know he's had 187 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: three pretty good games, good decisions. He'll be the first 188 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: to say that he's got a lot of work on. 189 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: I appreciate how he handles himself. I appreciate how he 190 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: is during the week. I appreciate you know, when guys 191 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: are leaving, he's he's in the meeting rooms and meeting 192 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: with Shaye and Kafka. You know, for quite some time, 193 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: the way he's handling it, and I know it's probably 194 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: not easy for him being that he's from around here. 195 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: Uh you know, I I kind of know how that goes. 196 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: So there's a lot on your plate that's going on, 197 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: and you've got to keep the main thing, the main thing, 198 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: which is which is football. And again we've had four 199 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: games with him. I'm proud of him. You know, he's 200 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: put a lot of work in since really since he's 201 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: got here. 202 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: Since the first day. 203 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: He you know, was working out in the local pro day, 204 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: but he spent a lot of time in the meeting rooms. 205 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: He's he's earning what he's getting. But again, we've got 206 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: a long way to go. It's i know, first round 207 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: three age to that. 208 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: That. 209 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: Again, we have a way we teach our quarterbacks, you know, 210 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: we believe in it. We try to put him in 211 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 1: the best position, but they ultimately have to go out 212 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: there and do it and do it at a high level. 213 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: And I'm not really about three hundred yard passing games 214 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: or this or that. His objective is to take care 215 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: of the ball and lead the team down to score 216 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: points regardless of the quarter and play your best when 217 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: it counts the most and the only way you do 218 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: that is through your preparation, in your hard work. And 219 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: again I think Shay and Kafka, and you know, I 220 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: think they do a really good job of developing quarterbacks. 221 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: So time will tell, you know, we got to. We'll 222 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: have a tough one this week against a really good defense.
